ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Bobronella Swamps (wip)]

I wouldn't say this is hiphop, but it's a nice compelling tune. I would recommend running this through an internet mastering service or something as louder these days is better. I think it would do a world of good to bring the bass forward for that matter

Nisker121 responds:

I don't think it's hip-hop either. And I wasn't trying to make it so. I just didn't know what genre it was myself, so I let the bot define it. The mixing is bad, I know. I just haven't finished the music yet. The full version will be out very soon! :)

[Nightfall's Breeze]

Take my straight 5 for this quality beat. And screw the GD players who give you low star reviews for something you can't control.

Maybe we need to do something about that.

I especially appreciate your low and hi-passing and what sounds like moving around the stereo field. Probably the highest quality lo-fi beat I've heard to date, great transitions.

Casper responds:

Thanks, it was actually your tips when I first started uploading my stuff on here that made me compress my drums and just overall mix them better! The effects on this track were kinda rushed but i guess it fits my style haha. Yeah, some melodies are panned as well as the hi hats and some risers. I don't really pay too much attention to whining GD players but I leave the option on since there have been some really cool levels made with some of my music.

[Bassfly (Mr. Jazzman) feat. Troisnyx - Pansyche (NGAP 20 Collab Entry)]

You have turned Trois into an android a la Attack Attack! aha. I would never have recognized. Great work. My only complaint would be the amp tone could use some work on rhythm guitars. It is mostly fuzz, and has a pretty distinct digital feel to it on chords. Individual notes sound acceptable. I am not able to tell if there is a double track or not.

Still, well deserved front page. Congrats to you both <3

mr-jazzman responds:

Many thanks for your review!

Yeah, you’re right about the guitar tone. I’ve been experimenting lately with some IRs and screamer effects to give it a more organic tone. The VST I used had a doubling algorithm applied, but I’ve been experimenting with quadrupling tracks for an extra-wide/extra-heavy feel.

[Alle, psallite ~ Troisnyx ver.]

WHY DOES THIS HAVE NO REVIEWS.

It legitimately sounds like a filmscore. Fantastic and moving percussion, gorgeous ambience. Beautiful praise song

Troisnyx responds:

Thank you 🙏🏽 I've admittedly no idea, save that I was moved to share it on Easter Sunday and I was just so overcome with emotion over it. Thank you for being my first review on this ~

[SSJ3 - RE:Super Saiyan Three]

Ooh, here it is! I found you!

Fantastic job on parsing this arrangement and getting to know a new library. I'm actually listening to this on the toilet and it's uh, interesting to say the least 😂

The only complaint I have is the French horn is a bit too present relative to the rest of the ensemble and the tambourine could be pushed a bit further back. Beyond that, very, very nice!

Shiverwar responds:

I gotta admit, it's still a little foreign to me compared to the EWQL Symphonic Orchestra soundbank, and since I need to contact them to deactivate the license on my old device, I figured the BBC orchestra vst would be a good substitute, and I was not disappointed! Admittedly, as you said, some of the mixing could have been more fine-tuned to get it to sound better, but I'm satisfied with what I put up here, and I'm glad you are too! Maybe I should revisit other tunes with these sounds...

[0i00 - Funny Cat Videos]

Придется написать на английском из-за нехватки времени, но хотела сказать

Your chord progression is good. I may cut off 200 hz on your strings in the beginning

I was surprised by the entrance of percussion early on. I am not sure this exactly fits into Dubstep due to being difficult to hear the bass, but that does not mean it is bad by any means.

The drums are certainly dubstep, but I'm not sure what genre I would put this in. Surely someone knows, and if so, suggest please.

I think your mixing is improving quite a lot! I would only remove a small amount of reverb, bring the hihats and cymbals down slightly, and increase the volume of bass.

Other than that, very nice, atmospheric, and resembles the album cover art. Nice work!

zeroizerozero responds:

Спасибо за отзыв и советы!)

[Run away]

I think if you had another synth besides piano, or perhaps more atmospheric effects such as vinyl, pitch warbling, chorus, etc, this would sound a lot better. As is, I'm not sure it really fits in hip-hop beyond the hi-hats.

The panning of piano is a bit disorienting. You could use more complex instrumentation throughout rather than fitting both melody and harmony into the piano roll.

However, I know there is a market out there for this sort of music. It fits in with the sort of Undertale aesthetic. And I know for a fact you worked hard on it judging by the percussion and key changes.

Keep trying until you nail the type of music you really love, that you never thought possible. I've been doing this for 15 years, and every once in a while I surprise myself. I have no doubt that if you stick with it, you will go even farther :)

con10t responds:

Thanks! I didn’t realize the panning haha.

[fritos freestyle ft. zabujard]

Not bad. Compress and bring up those vocals about 3 to 4 dB and I'll be happy

Sucking your dick like a frito. I don't even know how that's supposed to work, because I bite fritos T_T

ninjamuffin99 responds:

when u got da bbq ones and they so delicious u suckin da flavor off em 🥺

also appreciate da lil feedback, im still learnin the ropes with vocals and mixing stuff like that hehe

[Stream-fi]

Действительно неплохо. Ло-фай. Давайте немножко больше саба, и я кайфую

Mouzik responds:

Спасибо! Саб баса вроде бы достаточно, возможно это всё из-за наушников.

[Incompatibilities [TRAP]]

Nice beat! I'm a little concerned with the compression overshadowing your transitions and clap on drops. I might take off some of the low end on your keys. I would bring your percussion overall up by about .5 dB. Overall though nice and clean. Not overdone, not crowded, and sounds great :)

Wolfeni responds:

Thank you very much, it means so much to me <3
